In the following pages we give a portion of Athens County war record and biographical sketches that were unavoidably omitted from their proper places. ATHENS COUNTY MILITARY HISTORY. BATTLES AND MARCHES OF THE REGIMENTS. The following military history should have been included with that already given in the preceding pages of Athens County history, but there being no regiments but what recruited volunteers from several counties, it was at first deemed sufficient to mention in the county sketches of war services only the companies represented; but a different view having been arrived at, the regiments which received volunteers, or were made up in part from the counties embraced in this work, are herewith entered with the record of the noble part they took in the defense and perpetuity of the Union in that sanguinary conflict known as the " War between the States." Men from Athens, Hocking and Vinton were found in a few cases in the same regiment, and especially was this the case in the most of the regiments referred to in the following pages, and in the previously written ones of Vinton County. In all these regiments Athens and Vinton counties' volunteers were found in more or less numbers, and the record of each will be but the history of the brave and heroic actions of the gallant men from both counties who offered up their lives a willing sacrifice upon the •altar of their country. There is no record that can be given so complete in all its details of the military history of the country as that compiled by counties, and had such a work been at once commenced at the close of the deadly strife much now that is forever lost would have been saved for the nse and the instruction of future generations. - (1380) - HISTORY OF HOCKING VALLEY - 1381 THE LINE OF MARCH. The regiments in which Athens County was represented were the Third, Eighteenth, Thirty-sixth, Thirty-ninth, Sixty-ninth, Seventy-fifth, Ninety-second, and One Hundred and Sixteenth Infantries, and the Seventh Cavalry. Some of these regiments had but few men from the county while Vinton County was also pretty well represented. The march of the Third Ohio and One Hundred and Sixteenth is given here, while the Eighteenth, Thirty-sixth, etc., will be found in the military history of Vinton County. The Twenty-second, Thirty-ninth and Sixty-ninth were all in the southern campaign, but their march and battles engaged in would be but a repetition of those given and so are not entered here, though their reputation for bravery is fully recognized. THE ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEENTH INFANTRY, with the exception of two companies, B and C, which were guarding the Marietta & Cincinnati Railroad, rendezvoused at Marietta Aug. 25, 1862. Companies A, C, D, E and F were from Monroe County; companies B and G, from Meigs; companies I and K, from Athens; and Company H, from Noble. Sept. 1 the regiment was ordered to Parkersburg to watch the movements of the rebel General Jenkins. On the 6th it moved to Gall ipolis, where it was armed and equipped. Sept. 18 and 19 it was mustered into the United States service, except companies F and K, which joined the regiment at Buckhannon, W. Va. It was there brigaded with the One Hundred and Tenth, One Hundred and Twenty-second and One Hundred and Twenty-third Ohio. In .November, at New Creek, the measles raged violently among the troops, prostrating one fourth. Dec. 12, leaving 110 men in the hospital, the regiment moved to Moorefield, where it was stationed with a section of artillery. It was here attacked Jan. 3, 1863, and twenty men on picket-line were captured. From this time it was engaged in constant marching, foraging and skirmishing in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, until Aug. 4 it arrived in camp at Martinsburg. April 29, 1864, it started up the Shenandoah Valley under Gen_ eral Sigel, and in two brisk charges Piedmont was captured. The One Hundred and Sixteenth lost 176 men in killed and wounded. It was kept busy in various minor movements for the next few months, occasionally skirmishing with the enemy. It lost heavily in mak- 1382 - HISTORY OF HOCKING VALLEY. ing a reconnaissance Aug. 26, near Halltown, and at Fisher's Hill it maintained its gallant record. It was constantly engaged in skirmishing and in guard duty the remainder of the year, and went into winter quarters at Aiken's Landing. In the spring of 1865 it acted a 'prominent part in the Petersburg campaign. The regiment was mustered out June 14, except companies F and K, which were consolidated with the Sixty-second, their time not being out till October following. THE SEVENTH OHIO CAVALRY contained a goodly representation from Athens County. It was knows as the " river regiment," being recruited from Hamilton, Clermont, Brown, Adams, Scioto, Gallia, Athens, Meigs and Washington counties. It was mustered into the service of the United States in the fall of 1862, and served three years, in almost all parts of the Confederacy. It bore a prominent part also in the chase of General John Morgan, following him closely from Tennessee through Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio, until his command was annihilated and he himself was captured. It was mustered out July 4, 1865, after an active and brave service. THE THIRD OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY was organized at " Camp Jackson," in the suburbs of Columbus, under President Lincoln's first call for 75,000 volunteers for three months' service. The organization was completed by the 21st of April, 1861, and the most rigid drill at once instituted. On the 27th it was mustered into the United States service. The field officers, who were elected by ballot, were as follows: Isaac Marrow, of Columbus, Colonel; John Beatty, of Morrow County, Lieutenant-Colonel; and J. Warren Keifer, of Clark County, Major. On the 28th of April the right wing of the regiment was sent to Camp Dennison, with orders to break ground and prepare a suitable camping place for the regiment. A newly planted cornfield on the west side of the railroad was selected, and, without blankets, tents or other covering this detachment of the regiment passed its first night of field service. On the 30th the remainder of the regiment arrived, bringing with it lumber and tools, with which the men soon constructed comfortable quarters. Throughout the month of May the regiment lay in this camp, and during that time was subjected to the Most thorough discipline and drill, so far as drill could be carried by soldiers devoid of arms or uniforms. Near the HISTORY OF HOCKING VALLEY - 1383 last of May the men were supplied with an assortment of old arms, flint-locks altered to percussion, and a small lot of blouses and gray pants. Before orders for the field arrived a considerable portion of the three months' term had expired, and volunteers for three years Ming called for the Third re-enlisted with alacrity and enthusiasm. On the 20th of January, 1862, the regiment was supplied with arms and uniforms, and ordered to proceed to Grafton, Va., then the seat of war. The regiment arrived at Bellaire on the 221 of June, in time to claim the honor of being the first three years' regiment to leave the State. Crossing the Ohio River to the town of Benwood, it was supplied with the first installment of ammunition. Grafton was reached on the 23d, where the regiment at once reported to Major-General McClellan. After two days' rest, the regiment proceeded by rail to Clarksburg, where camp equipage was supplied, and every preparation made for an active campaign. The 25th of June, 1861, the Third Ohio was brigaded with the Fourth and Ninth Ohio and Loomis's Michigan Battery, Brigadier General Schleich, of Fairfield County, commanding. From Clarksburg the Third Ohio advanced with the army, nothing of interest occurring until the 5th of July, when the regiment lay at Buckhannon, Va. Here the regiment lost its first blood. A scouting party of fifty, under Captain 0. A. Lawson, of Company A, was sent out by General Schleich to reconnoiter. They had a skirmish with the rebels, and lost one man killed and five wounded. In the pursuit of the flying enemy after the battle of Rich Mountain the Third was carried to Beverly on the 12th of July; thence to Huttonsville and Cheat Mountain Summit, where the pursuit was abandoned, and the troops commenced fortifying the passes of the Alleghanies. The greater part of the regiment was engaged in erecting a line of telegraph from Huttonsville to the port of Cheat Mountain Summit. On the 4th of August the regiment marched to Elkwater Creek, and in company with the Fifteenth Indiana Infantry and Loomis's Battery commenced a series of fortifications extending entirely across the valley. In the subsequent movements at Elkwater Junction and vicinity the Third Ohio took an active part. Early in October two companies scouted as far as Marshall, and on the 6th the regiment made a reconnaissance to Big Springs, but found only deserted camps. With this reconnaissance ended the first campaign of the Third Ohio Volunteer Infantry. It was a campaign of peculiar hardship to the new soldier. At Clarksburg the regiment was paid. 1384 - HISTORY OF HOCKING VALLEY. The regiment then proceeded to Parkersburg, Cincinnati and Louisville, at which latter place it was quartered at Camp Jenkins, four miles from the city. Here the Army of the Ohio was organized, in which the Third was assigned to the Third Division, General O. M. Mitchel commanding. The regiment was then assigned to severe drill in winter quarters at Bacon Creek or " Camp Jefferson." Feb. 22, 1862, it broke camp and marched into Bowling Green just as the flying rebels left it. Hastening on, it reached the bank of the Tennessee River, opposite Nashville, some twelve hours in advance of troops under General Nelson, who, approaching by water, were really the first to enter the city. From Nashville it marched southward with General Mitchel, and took an active part in all the events of that stirring campaign, including the capture of Murfreesboro and the occupation of Shelbyville and Fayetteville, Tenn. It took a prominent part in the battle of Bridgeport, where it charged and drove the enemy across the bridge. Then followed a period of inactivity, consuming the greater part of the summer of 1862. Huntsville was the base of the regiment. On the 23d of August, Bragg having commenced his northward movement, the Third evacuated Huntsville, and marched, to Decherd Station arid thence to Louisville, which it entered Sept. 25. After a brief rest the troops were again set in motion. At the battle of Perrysburg the Third stood its ground until more than one third of its number had fallen, dead or wounded. Its loss was 215 officers and men, and for its bravery it was publicly thanked by General Rosseau. It took part in the further pursuit of Bragg, and Nov. 30 it again encamped at Nashville. Buell was now removed, and the regiment -served under Rosecrans in the advance upon Murfreesboro and the battle of Stone River. It lost heavily in this battle. After this the Third was encamped for three months at Murfreesboro. Early in April, 1863, the Third was detached from the army proper, and in company with the Fifty-first and Seventy-third Indiana, Eightieth Illinois and two companies of the First Alabama Cavalry, was dispatched on a disastrous raid into Northern Georgia. On the 30th of April, while crossing Sand Mountain, the command was overtaken and attacked by a large cavalry force. After a running fight of ten miles, the column turned and gave battle. A severe fight ensued, in which the regiment captured a battery of twelve-pounders. The command escaped to Gladsden, unpursued, and there- destroyed four or five thousand stands of rifles. The HISTORY OF HOCKING VALLEY - 1385 raiders then marched in the direction of Rome, but were again overtaken, and another battle ensued, in which the Third suffered greatly. The Rome Mountain Iron Works, one of the most extensive and valuable establishments of its kind in the Confederacy, was -reached and burned, by a selected band of 250, but the main body proceeded with great difficulty. On the morning of May 3, the ammunition being mostly damaged, and their horses being ridden down, the whole command was surrendered, and the Third Ohio became prisoners of war. The men were treated with great severity by their captors, and were robbed of everything valuable. May 15 the men were paroled, but officers were incarcerated in Libby Prison. During the summer they were exchanged. They remained in Ohio until August, 1863, engaged in quelling local troubles, and also taking an active part in the pursuit and capture of John Morgan and his raiders. In August it was ordered to Nashville, Tenn., where it was again armed and equipped. It marched then to rejoin its brigade at Stevenson, Ala., but arrived too late as it had already crossed the Tennessee and marched beyond Chattanooga. It was then for a time engaged in guarding pontoons at Bridgeport and in escorting trains to Chattanooga until after the battle of Chickamauga. Its next movement of interest was against Wheeler's cavalry raid to Anderson's Gap, Tenn. Thence it moved down the Sequatchie Valley to Looney Creek, where it remained some time, repairing roads and facilitating the passage of trains to Chattanooga. It marched to Kelly's Ferry on the Tennessee, and thence to Chattanooga, where it performed garrison duty till June 9,1864? when it received orders to report at Camp Dennison, Ohio, its term of service having expired. The officers of the regiment were retained in prison for such a length of time that no effort was made to re-enlist the regiment as veterans, and the, men were accordingly mustered out of service June 23, 1864. After a brief visit to their homes most of the men and officers re-enlisted in other regiments " for the war.'? THE THIRTY-SIXTH INFANTRY, composed of men from Athens and neighboring counties, was organized at Marietta (Camp Putnam) in August, 1861. Its first officers were Melvin Clarke, of Marietta, Lieutenant-Colonel, and E. B. Andrews, of Marietta College, Major. For the position of Colonel it was the strong desire of the officers 1386 - HISTORY OF HOCKING VALLEY. to have a man of thorough military education. Such a man was secured in George Crook, of Dayton, then Captain in the Fourth Infantry of the regular army. This is the same Crook who afterward became a Major-General. Before Colonel Crook assumed command six companies under the charge of Major A. J. Slemmer marched through several counties of Western Virginia to clear the/ country of large bands of guerrillas. Colonel Crook and the other four companies joined them at Summerville, in Nicholas County, where the regiment remained until the followiug spring. An old saw-mill was refitted, timber in the forest cut and drawn, and a large drill-house 700 feet long was erected, in which the regiment was thoroughly drilled. There was much sickness in the regiment during the winter from typhus fever and pneumonia, and nearly fifty deaths occurred. May 12, 1862, the regiment, excepting Company B, which remained to hold the post of Summerville, started South via Cold Knob and Frankfort for Lewisburg, Greenbrier County. Here the regiment was organized into a brigade with the Forty-fourth Ohio and a battalion of the Second West Virginia Cavalry. With this force Colonel Crook marched through the mountains to White Sulphur Springs, Covington and Jackson River Depot. Returning from this expedition the camp at Lewisburg was attacked by General Beth, with from 2,500 to 3,000 rebels, who took position on a hill east of the town and began to shell the camp. The Thirty-sixth and Forty-fourth, containing in the aggregate about 1,200 effective men, were ordered to repel the attack, which was done in a sharp skirmish of about twenty minutes. The Thirty-sixth lost in this glorious action seven killed, forty-four wounded and five captured on picket. May 29 the expedition moved back to Meadow Bluffs in order to be nearer its base of supply, and there it was joined by the Forty-seventh Ohio. In August these, with other troops, proceeded to Washington and there joined the Army of the Potomac, where it was assigned to duty under General Pope. During the second battle of Bull Run the Thirty-sixth was in the reserve. The next movement of importance was in assisting to repel Lee's invasion of Maryland. Sept. 14 the regiment was actively engaged in the battle of South Mountain, where it made a gallant bayonet charge. Three days later the Thirty-sixth was actively engaged in the battle of Antietam. After the battle it encamped at the mouth of Antietam Creek until Oct. 6, when it was ordered back to West Virginia. HISTORY OF HOCKING VALLEY - 1387 Here it remained for three months, and then, in January, it proceeded to Nashville, Tenn., and joined the arniy of General Rosecrans. Early in June the brigade containing the Thirty-sixth marched across the country from Carthage to Murfreesboro, to join the main army, and was attached to Major-General Reynold's division. On the 24th of June it moved southward with the army, through a drenching rain, and had a sharp engagement with the enemy the same evening and part of the next day, at Hoover's Gap. The enemy were driven out of Tullahoma. The Union forces moved rapidly in pursuit, and were kept marching until they suddenly found themseves engaged in the battle of Chickamauga. In this battle the regiment lost seventy brave Officers and privates. It participated in the capture of Brown's Ferry, below Chattanooga, and Nov. 25 took part in the victory of Mission Ridge, in which it lost eighty-three men. In February, 1864, the regiment re-enlisted, and on the 10th of March the men were sent home on veteran furlough. At the expiration of its thirty days the regiment was sent to its old familiar camping-ground at Charleston, W. Va. Thence, under General Crook, it started on a raid to Dublin Depot, via the falls of Kanawha, Raleigh and Princeton. This expedition, which was attended with some fighting, was successful in destroying a considerable quantity of stores. The regiment then joined General Hunter, in the Shenandoah Valley, and for the next few months was occupied in minor movements in the vicinity of Staunton, Lexington and Lynchburg. They were finally attacked by General Early, and compelled to retreat to Charleston, where they arrived in a demoralized and half-starved condition. In July the troops again entered the Shenandoah Valley, where they were engaged in skirmishes at Cabletown and Kernstown, and obliged to retreat into Maryland. They went into camp at Pleasant Valley, July 27. Aug. 7 General Sheridan took command of the Army of the Shenandoah, and from the 11th to the 26th the regiment was almost constantly engaged in skirmishing. Sept. 3 the regiment distinguished itself in a severe four hours' battle at Perryville, and it was also a participant in the battle of Opequan, Sept. 19. By the 22d it was at Fisher's Hill, and it took part in the subsequent pursuit of Early's army. At Harrisonburg it was sharply attacked and driven some miles. The Thirty-sixth remained in the Shenandoah Valley until December following, and then, at Cumberland, Md., was consolidated with the Thirty-fourth Ohio. It remained in the service in the Shenandoah V alley for some 1388 - HISTORY OF HOCKING VALLEY. months more, and then was mustered out at Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 1, 1865.

Warren, boot and shoe manufacturer, was born in Canaan Township, Athens County, July 30, 1838, a son of N. 0. and Hannah (Dewey) Warren. In 1856 he took a trip through the Western states and located for a time in Crawford County, Ill. At the breaking out of the late war he was the third man in Athens County to volunteer, enlisting for three months. After his time was out he made a short visit home and then enlisted in Company C, Third Ohio Infantry, for three years. He participated in the battles of Rich Mountain and Perryville. At the latter he was wounded in the left hip, which disabled him for active duty, and from the effects of which he has never recovered. He was transferred to the invalid corps, and sent to Indianapolis, where he remained till his discharge in June, 1864. After the war he went to Atchison County, Mo., and remained two years; then went to California and remained a year, returning again to Missouri, and a short time after coming to his native State. For three years he was in the employ of the Akron Iron Company, Buchtel, and then became established in his present business. April 10, 1883, he came to Amesville, where he is now doing a good business. He was married, March 16, 1859, to his first wife, Helen Philips, daughter of Captain Ezra Philips of Ames ,Township. One child was born to them—Eugene. In 1873 lie married Louisa Hunter. Mr. Warren is a member of York Lodge, No. 75, K. of P. ; Buchtel Lodge, No, 712, I. 0. 0. F.; Columbus Golden Post, No. S9, G. A. R., and K. of L. HISTORY OF HOCKING VALLEY - 1389 Daniel Bertine Stewart is one of the best known and has been perhaps the most active and extensively engaged business man in Athens County. Besides the business of milling, which he has carried on throughout life, he has combined with it extensive farming, railroad projecting, merchandising, and been connected with a number of large moneyed corporations operating at Athens and elsewhere. His pairents, Daniel and Ruth (Arnold) Stewart, were natives of New England, having emigrated to Ohio from Litchfield, Conn., in the year 1802. His father was born at Litchfield, Nov. 18, 1762. At the age of fifteen he enlisted in the Revolutionary army, serving as teamster, and at eighteen he shouldered a musket and served to the close of the war. He was paid for his service in Government Continental scrip which he sold at five cents on the dollar. Before coining to Ohio he moved to Sussex County, N. J., and lived five years, then to New York City, and from there to Athens County (then Washington) in 1802. He was one of the first Commissioners of Athens County and did much to shape her politics. He was a supporter of Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams and William Henry Harrison; was a member of the Whig party and helped organize the Republican party. At the time of his death, in 1859, he had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church for sixty years. His father's name was Daniel, born of Scottish parents. Our subject's mother was Ruth Fulford Arnold. They settled in Athens County while it was yet a wilderness, where our subject was born, Sept. 26, 1812. His father had purchased a large tract of land, and the early manhood of the sons was occupied in the arduous work of preparing it for cultivation. This duty curtailed the use of the very few educational advantages then to be had, and as a consequence our subject had to be content with a limited education, however much his inclination might have been to the contrary. His innate ability, however, has supplied the deficiency well in after life, making him well and favorably known throughout this part of the State as an enterprising and able business man. At an early age he formed habits of economy, industry and perseverance which are prime requisites to success and which have characterized his entire life. When sixteen years of age he entered his father's flouring mill, took charge of it at eighteen, and on attaining his majority purchased the entire mill. In a short time he disposed of this mill at a large profit and formed a partnership with his brother, Alexander, at Rutland, Ohio, with whom he remained two years when he removed to Coolville, in Athens County, and engaged in the 1390 - HISTORY OF HOCKING VALLEY. mercantile business. In 1837 he relinquished this and removed to his father's farm where, after improving the water-power of the Hocking. River, he built a saw-mill. In 1812 he built a large gristmill near by, and two years later built a fine woolen mill, the first in Southern Ohio. The business proved very successful. In the year 1867, his business having largely centered at Athens, he removed his family to that place, where he still, lives. He is universally conceded to be the most active man in building projects in the county. Since 1837 he has built a large number of- stores, dwellings, mills and factories, including a large brick woolen factory, one of the finest in this section of the State. In later years railroad projecting has occupied his mind, and he has figured prominently in railroad measures well calculated to develop the wealth of the State. In 1850 he commenced to agitate the Parkersburg & Columbus Valley Line, which through unforeseen difficulties was abandoned. He secured the right of way for the building of the Baltimore Short Line and officiated as practical superintendent of construction. He was a stockholder and director of the road until its amalgamation with the Baltimore & Ohio, when his interests merged with that company. Mr. Stewart is credited with being the prime mover of the enterprise which resulted in the construction of the Baltimore Short Line, and doubtless he contributed more time, influence and personal energy to secure its successful inauguration than any other one man, having devoted four years to its interests. He was for some years a director of the Atlantic & Lake Erie Road, since succeeded by the Ohio Central, being largely instrumental in securing its final success. More recently he has been looking toward the construction of other new roads in this part of the State, especially one to connect the great coal fields of this and adjoining counties directly with the Eastern markets. His enterprise, however, has not been confined to milling, building and railroading. Within the county of Athens, on the line of the C., W. & B. R. R., his name promises to be long commemorated in a brisk and enterprising village of which he is the founder. For this village " Stewart" was laid out on his land, the buildings put up at his own expense, and by his liberal inducements it was soon populated with a prosperous and enterprising people. He has never entered actively into politics and has always been disposed to eschew office. He was a Lincoln elector in 1860, and was one of his warmest admirers. He has filled the office of Justice of the Peace for nearly a quarter of a century, and served on the Board of County Commissioners for HISTORY OF HOCKING VALLEY - 1391 one term. When he entered upon this latter office the practice of " bidding off," the county paupers was in vogue—a method which to him seemed repugnant and greatly defective. He took pains to investigate the manner in which the unfortunates were treated, and found to his satisfaction that in most cases it was undertaken to make the most possible money regardless of human suffering. He therefore strenuously urged that an infirmary be secured and the poor, given comfortable living. Notwithstanding a strong opposition from the public, he with the aid of a few others finally succeeded in carrying his point. A farm and buildings were soon procured and the measure carried into effect, after which the wisdom of the project was heartily assented to by many from whom opposition had come. He has acted with the Republican party continuously since its organization, and has generally entertained decided views on the leading public questions. Before the organization of the Republican party he was a Whig of the old line, but left the old party to help organize the new. During the late war Mr. Stewart supplied means for establishing a sutler's shop, and as it required his attention for a time he went South. While there his sympathies were enlisted in behalf of the wounded soldiers and he devoted his time to their relief. Although a non-combatant, he was much exposed to the enemy's fire and often barely escaped capture by the enemy. In one instance he was so hard pressed, being hemmed in on all sides, that he took refuge in a cluster of evergreens. Having about $3,000 in money on his person he concealed it under an old rail fence, trusting to memory to guide him to its discovery again when danger should have passed. He then started on foot and reached Nashville in safety. After the lapse of several days he returned to the place and found his money intact. Mr. Stewart has been twice married; first to Miss Sarah Carter, April 7, 1836, who died Oct. 16, 1874. He had nine children by this marriage, six of whom are still living. His second marriage was with Mrs. M. E. Pearce, widow of the late Dr. T. J. Pearce, of the United States army. She was well known throughout the war for her charitable work, and afterward officiated as matron at the Dayton Asylum for the Insane. Mr. Stewart has long been an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church. Stewart's Chapel, near his old home, takes its name from him. At the present time (July, 1883) he continues in active business, his time being fully occupied in looking after his multifarious interests. He is an extensive land owner and one of the heaviest tax-payers in the county. 1392 - HISTORY OF HOCKING VALLEY.
